Canada: Redux

I've been horrible about blogging, mainly because I just don't have the time and it seems like blogs are so 2012. Does anybody care or read blogs anymore? I rarely do. But, I thought I'd blog today because it's on my to-do list and also because I've been home sick with the flu for the past 3 days and getting really bored. I'm long gone from Canada. I'm actually in Afghanistan now. But here's some photos of some of my favorite places seen from Calgary:

Yellowknife, Northwest Territories in March

Downtown Calgary in the Fall.

Lake Louise Ski Resort, with Lake Louise visible in the distance.

Sunshine Ski Resort

Waterton National Park

The U.S.-Canadian border. No walls, no fences, no hedges. Just a clearcut in the forest and simple stone obelisk with "USA" written on one side and "Canada" on the other. Glacier National Park, Montana, USA is to the left (south) of this obelisk and Waterton National Park, Alberta, Canada is to the right (north).

Snow festival castle in Yellowknife, NWT

Tuktoyuktuk, a small fishing village on the Arctic Ocean, Northwest Territories - well above the Artic Circle.

Flying above the MacKenzie Delta toward Tuktoyuktuk. The delta is the second largest in the Western Hemisphere after the Mississippi Delta.

Formerly the end of the road in Inuvik, NWT. The road has since been extended all the way to Tuktoyuktuk in the Artic Ocean.
